Advice on car sale

[wanda]

I am selling an Audi A4 3.0 sports quattro. I got interest by one chap with bad spelling. He is insisting on paying using Paypal and said he will send an agent to pick up the car as soon as the money clears.

Am I right in smelling a fish here? Is it normal to refuse to pay cash on delivery?

What do you think?

Insist on cash.. bank transfer or cheque.. probably some sort of con.. next he will want you to ship it to Nigeria

Yup. Avoid unless he pays cash, and even then I would nsist on it being cleared by the bank. There are lots of dodgy notes in the wrong hands.

must say I did smell a rat, he now refuses to pay cash on delivery so I told him I wont sell it to him.

Good catch if you'll forgive the pun
